Still Wakes the Deep (2024): Is This Game Too Muscly?

Infinite Cities ·

2024/10/31

It's Halloween week, and in an attempt to be spooky, we chose to play a spooky game about a man on an oil rig in the middle of the North Sea in the 70s. Some spooky shit happens. And everyone except Gary noped out at the first stealth section. Of course, instead of being scared, I cried, so y'know, you win some, you lose some. in this episode: spooky vibes, oil rigs, walking sims, yellow paint, a gooey guy, different flavors of phobia, being scared, being spooky, being scottish, phenomenal voice

vivid/stasis mentionnnnnnnnnnnn For a game that was recommended in the comments of a mostly/unrelated meme, this was actually a pretty/banger game. Kind/of. It's definitely a peak rhythm game, with great tracks, great maps, and simple mechanics used extremely interestingly. Unfortunately, that's not all that's here. Also: this one's more of a sickos mode than anything because feather hogged the entire game to herself :3 clocking a dumbass 17 hours in over the course of the week! Let that be a review

HELP, the Seethe is approaching! Was this made in 2024 or 2004? Feather doesn't know. It sure is pretty, though. And the music's great. And the gameplay feels just like it did in the early oughts (in a good way). Join us in looking at overly detailed traditional japanese sweets and read all about their history while tensely awaiting the arrival of Gary's groceries.

Chants of Sennaar (2023): What's UpPeople?

Infinite Cities ·

2024/10/04

Have you ever played the tutorial of a game and gone, "damn, this is gonna slap?" Chants of Sennaar pulls off a magic trick right from the jump, not only inviting the player to manually type in what they think a symbol might mean in a language they cannot understand, but also providing a generous mechanic for the player to "lock in" the correct definition to help with future puzzles. It's a mechanic Feather deliberately avoided participating in, and, she might have been right? in this episode:

Drill Dozer (2006): Did The UI Need To Be That Big?

2024/09/26

gear one: drill dozer is one of many games that have charm and execution and cool mechanics but in the end was largely neglected and forgotten because it released after its console's successor was released. like second-greatest nes platformer ever kirby's adventure, this used the console's capabilities to the absolute max - and then some, bolting on a rumble pack to push the tiny little handheld even further. HIYA! Second Gear! Drill Dozer is an extinct kind of game, the perfect Jank-Ass Platformer

Sometimes, it's okay to give into nostalgia. Let the bitcrunched trumpets and adorable sprites take you back to your childhood, away to a world full of potential, one full of exciting people and wonder and amazing critters who you can love and travel with and villains who want to kill everyone but are still easily defeatable by fourteen year olds. In this ep, we speculate what happened to pokemon. Honestly, I'm not sure anything happened to it - I think that instead, something happened to us. I

Jusant, a French word which translates to the English word "ebb" aka the movement of the tide out to sea. The ocean has receeded, bit by bit, until nothing was left but the Great Basin. And emerging from that basin, one valiant climber and their adorable little guy. Where are they going? Why are they going? What's even up there? Who knows!

Ghost Trick (2011) Part 2: What's Up, Ghost?

2024/08/16

It's always fun, following up on a game we've already done an episode about, and because we've already declared it The Month of Ghost Trick, Will and I are here to talk about the second-third of the game. Ghost trick is a game of puzzles, and ghosts, and tricks. We zoom around the screen and lament that we aren't using the original DS stylus to do so. We rewind time again and again and suffer through slow walk cycles and devestated justice ministers. We fight the oppresive nature of photo albums

Ghost Trick (2011) Part 1: How Are You This Good At...

Infinite Cities ·

2024/08/01

Ghost trick was a commercial failure, or at least not enough of a commercial success to make Capcom happy. But I think they knew what they had - that's why they ported it eight times - including two separate Android ports. A large part has got to be that it's a lot weirder and harder to explain than it's more straightforward Pheonix Wright cousin, with strange spatial puzzle elements. Personally, I think they released it too early - if this had come out in 2020, gifs of it would have done

You wake up in a stack of hay. The innkeeper lets you have some leftovers for breakfast after you wash yourself in the river. In the neighbouring village there's strong men who are willing to help you remove the fallen tree, and another town has bandit problems. A third town has undead problems. There's 10 days left of summer. What do you do?

We (Will and Feather, at least) are not immune to propaganda, and so we're taking a break from our break from our regularly scheduled content to chat about a game that is both stupider and smarter than it first appears.

Your travels take you to a crossing. To the east, a narrow path cuts through tangled brush and snarling thorns. The road north is clear, but you heard rumor horrific goblins wait in ambush. The west is open plains - clear, but in the distance you can make out the most horrific animal of all: packs of terrifying beasts known as "horses". Better chance the goblins and the thorns.

"Walking Sim" as a genre is a bit of a perjorative, but really - that's what we have here. You walk places, and things happen! That's the game. But even in that, there's a ton to talk about. Why is this game about being alone, so full of chatter? Can you find yourself in those dark woods? And perhaps most importantly, why is this walking sim so bad at walking?

Fighting games are hard and have a high barrier for entry, which is why we basically dance around the idea of it for an hour before throwing in the towel.
